Thanks!

Did you find out if it was a new design?

Also can you tell us any details on the weight reduction?

The flat colors are doing it for me! This build seems insane. Hope you hit 8!

MUCH Better. I can't wait to see it back on the ground with the suspension adjusted. It will be lower to the ground for sure!

Now hopefully they WORK!

Looks like they have a smaller top hat and use a lower hat now as well to move the injector connector a bit higher up, making it easier to access the connecter.

The outlet of the injector was moved up away from the head port. It may help atomization depending on the spray pattern.
